Because some idiots think that the sharp decline in bowlers is going to somehow be remedied by hundreds of new balls every couple of years.

The list I put out came from Grand Pix bowling supply I think this is just the brands they carry and the higher number includes all the rest. And is right!     If this many new balls are being consumed by a shrinking bowling public. You would think that bowling is growing. But we are told it is a dying game here in the USA What gives ?

Can you imagine the credit card statement for the poor fool who drilled all of those up to try out?
